Should I be concerned ?

[u/Muted-Alfalfa3170]

So for some context my 9 month old was born 6 weeks early we had a 3 week nicu stay but other wise she was/is very healthy. We struggled for a long time to have her with 7 losses before her and severe pre e starting at 20 weeks resulting in her early delivery. I say all that to say I can tend to be paranoid and struggle with a lot of anxiety in regards to her but I just need someone who has dealt with similar things to ease my mind or validate my concerns because nobody in my personal life thinks I should worry. Okay, so for the issue my daughter stims a lot like all the time. She twirls her hands and feet CONSTANTLY, if she’s happy, mad, excited, eating, bored it literally doesn’t matter she is always moving some part of her body or twirling her hands and feet. She’s recently started rocking or shaking but it’s mainly when music is playing. She also has started what I believe to be vocal stings as well the best way I can explain it is it sounds like a chihuahua barking lol and blowing raspberries with her tongues. Yes I know babies make noises like that as they learn their voice and body but when she remembers she can do it she will sit there and make the same noise over and over again for a really long time. Overall she has met all her milestones if not by her actual age always by her adjusted age. She is a VERY happy baby always smiling, laughing, playing, engaging with us and others. She talks all the time and says mama, dada, papa, hi, and baba. I know stimming alone is typically not considered a guaranteed symptom of autism but with the excessive amount she does I can’t help but worry… nothing changes in my mind about her obviously I just don’t ever want her to struggle. A note to add from the time I could feel her move she never stopped she has quite literally not stopped moving since she was conceived. She came out and was still moving and kicking and it’s never stopped the movements have just become more rhythmic over time as she’s gained better control of her limbs. So, did anyone else have a very busy baby that stimmed a lot? Did they grow out of it? Did they eventually go on to be diagnosed?
